What is Salsa on 1 and Salsa on 2?
On1 salsa timing is commonly known as L.A. style, focuses on sharp hits in the music and flashy moves. On1 step begins with stepping forward on 1 for the lead and stepping back for the follow.
On2 salsa timing is known as New York style. While the old school Paladium-era dancers danced On2 to beats 2-3-4, 6-7-8, the most common way of dancing On2 these days is called “Modern Mambo,” danced to beats 1-2-3, 5-6-7 (the same beats as On1). Modern Mambo was popularized by Eddie Torres and is known for its more sauve feel and complex turn patterns.
